The General impression in Wash
ington is that the greatest strength
of the commission will be in the Re-
publicans. In this some political
wiseacres see a very clever move on
the part of the President. Aggressive
Democrats might have stamped the
commission with their personality,
making it partisan in its character and
drawing the party into taking the re-
sponsibility of the enemies they might
make by being too just in their de-
cisions- AS it now stands it is believed
that the two Republicans, Cooley and
Walker, with Schoonmaker, will shape
the course of the commission. Mr..
Edmunds says of Mr.. Aldace F.
Walker; In the State Senate he won
distinction in respect of these railroad
problems. He was a member of the
Judiciary committee. He is man of
extraordinary ability, fine scholar,
a man of literary attachments and IS
vigorous, industrious and honest all
the way through. A strong man il
every respect. "Did l recommend
him Oh, no don't recommend any
body. L sometimes give testimony of
fitness of people for public Office, but
] don't recommend" 1t is looked up
on here as wise thing to have per-
mitted Mr.. Edmunds to name the
eastern Republican, and it is limited
even that this may have some political
significance sometime in the future.

A VERMONT BARONET.-The life of
Sir Curtis NJ. LampSOn, Vermont
chore-boy and an English baronet, is
sketched in an interesting way by a
Rutland (Vt.) Herald correspondent /:
Curtis M. LampsOn was born near
New Haven Mills, VT, in September,
1906. He attended the district school
and built the fires, receiving the ashes
as his reward. When about II he joined
his brother William, a fur trader in
Canada, who was connected in some
way with the Hudson Bay company.
He travelled among the Indians and
hunters of British America, and &C
1uired valuable knowledge of the fur
trade He went to New York, and in
the employ of John Jacob AStOr'S agent
and other dealers went repeatedly to
London with cargoes of fur. In 1880
he established himself in London in the
fur business. His success was wonder
full, and he soon had the largest depot
for peltry in Europe. He accumulated
an immense fortune, TeckOned by mil
lions of pounds sterling. Sir Curtis
was the special friend of George Pea
body, the American banker, who died
at his house. He actively aided Cyrus
w. Field in laying the first Atlantic ca
BILE and for this Queen Victoria made
him baronet in November, 1866. He
was in America for the last time in 1857
when he visited the home of his early
youth. He gave $4,000 in 1868 for the
erection of fine schOOl-hOuse at New
Haven Mills, and furnished it with a
handsome library of 1000 volumes, Sc
lected by himself. He died in March,
1885.

MILITIA EoUIPMENTs.--The new
arms and equipments of the Vermont
national guard have arrived at the
Montpelier arsenal, and been inspec-
ted by Quartermaster-General Gil
more and Adjutant-General Peck.
The new arms consist Of $50 Spring
field rifles, model of 1884, and will
take the place of the old 80 caliber
breech leaders, bought shortly after
the close of the war. The new rifles
are of 45 caliber, with blued steel bar
rels and bayonets and weigh eight
pounds. The new equipments consist
of frazier's improved cartridge box,
which holds 20 rounds of ammunition.
and has a sliding cover and a set of
black leather belts. The Vermont
militia are the first State troops to be
supplied with these cartridge boxes,
which are said by military men to be
superior to any now in use. Twenty
thousand rounds of rifle ball cartridg-
es were also received. The new rifles
will be distributed as follows; Forty
six guns to the Estey guard, of Brat
tleboro, the Park guards of Benning-
ton, the Kingsley guards of Rutland,
the Sprague guards of Brandon, the
Barlow Grays of st. Adams, the
Grout guards of Newport, the St.
Johnsbury guards, the Capitol guard
of Montpelier, the New England
guards of Mortified, the Bradford
guards, the Barre company, and the
new Richford company, which was au-
thorized by the last Legislature. The
new company will be uniformed in the
United States army regulation dress
of blue. The Quartermaster-Ge General
has realized enough from the sale of
old arms and equipments stored in the
arsenal to pay, with the State appro-
priation, for the new rifles and equip
ments. The Springfield rifles with
which the national guard are now
armed were supplied them in 1871.
They will be kept at the State arsenal
for use in emergencies.

against ALEX SimenO, setting forth in substance
that on the 9th day of August, A. ID. 1881, she
was legally married to the said ALEX at Albany,
in the county of Orleans, by Rev. G. W. Ellis, a
minister of the Gospel. That since said mar

that for the causes aforesaid the marriage bonds
contracted as aforesaid may be dissolved and
that the Court will grant her a bill of Divorce
from the said ALEX and that she may resume her
maiden name.
